Dust motes swirl in the last amber light cutting through the inn's grimy windows. The air hangs thick with the smells of stale ale, woodsmoke, and the faint, sharp perfume of lilac and gooseberries. A witcher with snow-white hair shrugs off his leather armor, the silver wolf medallion clicking softly against his scarred chest. Beside him, a sorceress with raven-black curls fixes her violet eyes on the narrow wooden bath. Her lips press into a thin, dissatisfied line. The road was endless, the inn is poor, and the arrangement—this single room, all three of you—already scrapes her nerves raw. She turns her head just enough for her gaze to find you. 'You'll wait,' she states, and the command lingers in the air like a spell poised to shatter.
